About The Artwork

The Fibonacci Sequence divides space with a mathematical formula. This formula is found all over nature. In painting, the Old Masters used the Fibonacci Sequence in many of their compositions. By dividing the space down, the eye is lead to the smallest point. The Old Masters used this to locate their center of interest. In my painting, “Fibonacci or GPS?,” I’ve taken the liberty of playing with this sequence. In the painting, a canvas sits on an easel. That canvas is accurately rendered by mathematically dividing it by the formula. Each division in itself is a little composition. But then, the viewer is lead to the GPS map marker - with an ‘x marks the spot’! The old and the new coexisting in one space. This begs the lighthearted question, “How did I get here?.....Fibonacci or GPS?” This painting is unframed. All four sides are nicely painted. This piece is wired and ready to hang.

Angles and lines, repeating patterns, and some circles - for relief. Angles and lines represent boundaries. I like boundaries, they make me feel safe, as do repeating patterns. They’re comforting because they’re familiar and expected. I’m an introvert and I find it stressful to cope with turmoil. So, I paint. I begin by drawing little sketched patterns on paper, dividing space. It frees me of distractions so I can focus my thoughts. I start to see things happen within the drawing and an idea for a painting begins to emerge. I transfer the drawing to the canvas. Alkyd (oil) is my medium of choice, but I also paint in acrylics. As I paint, I feel myself move into the painting. I work until I find what I’m looking for -- balance, harmony in smooth color fields, edgy transitions between the angles and lines, repeating patterns, and then some circles - for relief.
